He's not a great soccer player, but he's one of my two all-time favorites, and he certainly is much improved. He loves games; we even played RoboRally today, which is supposed to be well above his age level. Of course, even the younger one enjoyed the silly robot noises that their Dad made. I was surprised at how much he wanted to play, but I told him we would agai

This is one of those areas that I don't know what I'm going to do to help him out. I have never been fishing once in my life. I figure the thing to do is take him anyway, suck at it all day long, and have a great time with your son regardless. You could do a bit of research ahead of time to try

Okay, now make me feel bad. I apologize. That wasn't my intent. And I know people (humans) well enough to know that even acknowledging the possibility of this sort of psychological reasoning behind his actions isn't going to make it stop bugging you. Believe me, I know that it can be hard to
Just because he realizes he likes one thing doesn't mean he doesn't prefer something else. Also: getting you to prepare his food in a particular way can be reassuring to him. First off, it's familiar, it's comfortable, it's the same... unlike some of the other stuff in his life. Secondly, he is able to exert a modicum of control over his environment (unfortunately that's you in this case) which empowers him and in turn reassures him. <BR
Thanks, we need luck, and prayer, too. Okay. I'll toss you one or two of those as well. If you find it helps, it might keep you accountable to post updates on your blog (without getting too specific with figures). I'm sure there would be at least mild encouragement from the peanut gallery.
First off, good for you, that you're taking positive steps to alleviate your financial crunch. You're making definite progress and that's a great thing. Keep on top of it. The appliances are interest free until next year and we hope to pay them off before hand. Ensure that you
You had to erase one?
Would you decide to to stop because you couldnt' afford to care for any more? This would be the biggest issue for me (at least, now that I'm older). But I think it should factor in [I[regardless of whether you think there is a possibility of a birth defect. When I was younger, I probably would hav
we are going to need those little victories to make it. Good luck with it. The hardest thing for me has been consistency, but it's all going away slowly.
Local soccer season has started for my boys, so I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling in the next two months... three hours there, three hours back, as often as I can. Practice for pseudo jr is Monday and Thursday. akulaboy has his Wednesday and Friday. That leaves games on Tuesday and Saturday... but I'll really only get to see the Saturday games. T
No, it is the psychology of it - if you pay one thing off, you are now one step closer to being debt free. One (possibly very small) step. It's just a more visible step than paying that same $100 dollars towards a debt that is choking you with more interest... <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%"
I've seen this particular point both ways: Do you pay off the small debts first or do you pay towards the debts that have the highest interest? My personal take (without actually doing any math on paper) is that you'd want to pay the extra money you have available towards that higher interest debt, regardless of size, due to accumulation of interest (and therefore accumulation of debt). If your stance is a merely a psychological one (Hey, loo
Feel better soon.
My 1SG sent this out to all personnel today; there was at least one jar of this sold at the Commissary on base.
Yeah, this happened to me, too (although it has nothing to do with ANS). I'm trying like hell to cook something up, but...
"Referencing the wikisaurus?"
maybe we can all move to Hawaii and put our kids in school with Tex. I can't get stationed out there until I get promoted, and then I wouldn't be able to bring my boys, anyway.
Earlier this week, I got some good "face time" with my 1SG because I approached him about a matter concerning the Joint Services Color Guard. I have recently taken over as the NCOIC and was having trouble procuring volunteers for an upcoming event. I asked him if he could poll the cadre to find interested personnel, not just for this particular event but in general
Sorry I can't help you here I read it in the Navy times 1985. Well, I further doubt that any statistics published in 1985 remain entirely applicable today. I have no idea
Yesterday, Wednesday, the trial of 1LT Ehren Watada, accused of missing movement and unbecoming conduct, ended in a mistrial (due to, some say, prosecutor bungling). Watada had refused to deploy to Iraq with his unit and made public statements denouncing the legality of the war both before and after his unit deployed. Watada's lawyers had wante
The other names suggested are cute, but other than mine (Diddles) and uDigIt's (Buffy or Rubbin' Hood) none of them are playing off the "spank the monkey" theme I think Karen's trying for. Ahem. "Spanking the skunk guts." (Specifically female masturbation.) But you probably weren't sp
Most retirees die after 10 years of retirement. I'd like to see statistics on this, for two reasons: 1) I doubt your claim is entirely accurate. 2) I can either tease SSG Geezer about his life expectancy upon retirement (what was it, 173 today?) or attempt to lure him into staying in. <
I'm sorry, but attempting to redirect people to the forums by using an underlined word (not a hyperlink) isn't helping your case against the insanity charges. Having said that, if the quotes now only show up properly in the forums, I'm a little miffed. I've never really liked the forum interface and this new quoting doesn't look like anything but cut-and-paste on the regular blog pages.
